Problem and statement: Is one liquid a better conductor than another liquid?
Hypothesis: If Mr.Jerry uses lemonade on electricity then will the electric charge flow?
Research: Lets first know the definition of electricity and how its form. Electricity is a form of energy that is build up of electric charges( negative and positive ions). Benjamin Franklin discover electricity from his experiments. It's the fastest thing and most useable resource the world have. Basically its the flow of electrical power.
We get our electricity from the carriers which can come from coal
nuclear,or solar power. Electricity is neither a nonrenewable and renewable resource. The energy resources are nonrenewable and renewable resources that make our electricity. Electricity is basically made up of electrons being force to go to other atoms. Also,did you know electricity can travel than the speed of light.(180,000 miles per second)
Electricity leave power of the tallest power plant. It send transmissions lines after receiving high power from the power plant. Another thing, electricity also travel in circuits. Plus, to measure electricity you have voltage, amps, and watts. Volts measure pressure, amps measure amount of currents, and watts measure amount of work.
Electricity is conducted to many things such as metals. Metals are good conductor of electricity. Electric current can easily flow through them without resistance. Insulator are things that electric current can't flow through. Nonmetals are insulators, strong resistance against electricity.
Most atoms hold their electrons tightly in nonmetals. They can't move because they have no room. Atoms are free in metals. They can freely move and repel from each other. Which cause repulsion of other electrons through the conductor.
1. Gather all material 2. Set three cups on the counter. 3. Get the marker and mark one through three on each cup 4. Put lemonade mix in the first cup 5. Add water and sugar 6. Stir well with spoon 5. Put kool laid mix in the second cup 6. Add water and sugar 7. Stir well with spoon 8. Put water in third cup 9. Add salt 10. Stir well with spoon 11. Get circuits 12. cut circuit into three long circuits 13.Put circuits down 14. Check all three liquids to see if sugar and salt dissolve. 15. After checking get all three circuits 16. Put the first piece circuit in the first cup 17. Put the second piece circuit in the second cup 18. Put the third piece circuit in the third cup 19. Observe for any changes in the liquids 20. Get pencil and paper. Write what you see
Independent variable is the circuits and dependent variables is the liquids. The constant is the amount of salt and sugar you put.

Results:
I realize that sugar is not the best solution. It is not a good help to the lemonade or grape soda.
